St. Patrick's Day is coming up! Whether you're planning to go all out in all green or not, downing a pint or two of the good stuff (along with some tasty bites) is never a bad idea. Guinness -- the gold standard of Irish stout and the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland -- has a creamy malt character that goes well with cakes, sweets, desserts and breads, as well as savory roasts, seafood and spicy food. Thirsty yet? You're in luck! (See what we did there?) Here are some fantastic ideas for what to pair with a dark beer.
